I don't know if this will be possible considering the shutdown scenario ... but could you please try to capture this error from another system using netconsole? I assume this trace does not show up in your system logs after you boot up again ... have you tried to change your syslog.conf to include all kernel messages to a file? Does this happen very time? Would it be possible to send a better photo, unfortunately in this photo the top of the output is blurry? You can send a few photos.
Unfortunately, even though I tried a lot of times, I cannot reproduce the bug on 2.6.28.2.
Mircea, Thank you very much for trying to reproduce it. Could you please close this bug? If you do encounter it again, please create a new bug for it. The problem you encountered was a crash in "thread_info" - so there could have been a fix in that area between 2.6.28 and 2.6.28.2. Thank you
